Toro engine valve gaps

[7394]

Ok I did a lil research on your mower and most of the Toro products in your series LOOK like a KAWI....... I am not sure though...

I would go 5 and 7 thou on the valve lash............ That would be a good generic all around setting......

Try that and let us know Mon Ami ...........

Bordeaux- I must respectively disagree with you... Last Year Toro put a Kawasaki in a Toro Timecutter was 2014, (100 year Toro anniversary) & that is the machine I have.

You can't even special order them with a Kawasaki anymore. Toro wants to use their loncin engines. You might still be able to get a kohler tho. maybe ?

Here is what Loncin states on their web site.

Intake: 0.004 - 0.006
Exhaust: 0.006 - 0.008

The above numbers have been converted to inches and rounded since Loncin lists them in mm.

I don't know what Toro recommends.

I would go with the engine makers specs, Toro doesn't make any engines.
But that EX setting of .006 - .008, That .008m is pretty loose imo.
